This is What Happens When I'm Depressed

I just finished an interview this afternoon for a job. And I really felt like I didn't get it because of one question asked to me during the interview: "What is your priority, your studies or working with us?" Damn! I wasn't able to answer straight. If I said "work" I knew I would be lying, had I said "studies" then for sure I'm out.

So anyway, I decided to go to Starbucks and study instead (by the way, while I'm writing this, I have my finals exam tomorrow, pray kayo for me ha!). I guess out of disappointment on myself, I started scribbling. And I ended up writing a poem (yeah, again, I know). I didn't even have a topic in mind! So this is a bit raw, but it turned out to be pretty good.

The Forgotten Mermaid

A lifeless remembrance of a past encounter;
I dream more of it today than just usual wonder.

Like a steady, hard rock under the heat of the desert sun,
My mind sizzles with anger on what has been done.

Oh passion and love, I have revered thee for too long,
And yet it was you that led me farther along.

Humming now a lifeless song dedicated to a worn out memory,
Assisted constantly by the music of the sea.
